  1. Seminar on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Applications in the Philippines 13 February 2009 “ITS Experience in the Philippines” Ricardo G. Sigua, PhD. Professor, College of Engineering Affiliate, National Center for Transportation Studies University of the Philippines Diliman

  2. Land Area: 636 sq.kms. • Population: 10M • Population growth rate: 3% Metro Manila’s Urbanization • Urban Sprawling • Concentration of economic, commercial and cultural activities • Traffic congestion • Inadequate transportation services MMUTIS 2000

  3. Negative Impacts • Wastage of time and energy due to delays incurred in congested roadways Traffic Congestion

  4. Environmental degradation caused by increased vehicle exhausts in traffic jams Environment • SPM: significantly above the standard of 180 mg/m3. daily ave. in many locations • NO2: has exceeded the standard amount of 0.10 ppm hourly ave. for a healthy environment in some locations • Noise Level: 77-84dB in many locations

  5. Energy

  6. Accident Type Average Cost (Pesos) Number of Accidents Total Cost (million pesos) As reported (Police) Adjusted for under-reporting Based on reported accidents Adjusted for under-reporting Fatal 2,273,000 714 8,180 1,623 18,593 Serious Injury 353,000 797 93,820 281 33,119 Minor Injury 69,000 1,672 402,150 115 27,748 Damage-Only 55,000 9,623 469,090 529 25,800 TOTAL 12,806 973,240 2,548 (U$45M) 105,260 (US$1.9B) Source: Sigua, UP COE/NCTS Road Safety 2.6 % of the Philippines’ GDP

  7. Public Transportation MARTE A. PEREZ

  8. Traffic Demand by ModeSource: MMUTIS, 1996

  9. ITS Deployment in the Philippines • Traffic Responsive Signal System • State of the Art Metro Manila Adaptive Responsive Traffic (SMART) System • The Metro Manila ETC System

  10. Traffic Responsive Signal System • Uses Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) • first used in Cebu City • covers more than 420 intersections in Metro Manila

  11. ETC System

  12. Where would ITS fit in? • Complement the plans and programs of the government: - urban expressways – ETC - urban rail – automation; commuter information; schedule • sustainable data collection system • Road Pricing - ERP instead of manual method

  13. Road Pricing • Possibly the most effective method of alleviating congestion in Metro Manila (Koshi) • Should be set unrealistically high to achieve meaningful reduction • Time-based charging

  14. Initial Studies on Road Pricing ( MMUTIS )

  15. Urban Expressway Expansion, km.

  16. Urban Rail Network Expansion

  17. Sustainable Data Collection System • No sustained traffic data collection effort; data collection largely on a project basis  A data collection system must be established to facilitate gathering of traffic baseline information Probe Car Survey System • Probe car device: • data logging system • with built-in GPS

  18. Potential uses of the probe car survey system • General information on Metro Manila traffic situation • Yearly evaluation of traffic condition (unbiased) • Network travel speeds, delays, bottlenecks; may include seasonal variation • Assessment of changes/improvements introduced to the transportation system • System/area wide • infrastructure (impacts of newly introduced flyovers, bridges, pavement rehab, pedestrian overpass, etc.) • traffic management (U-turns, one-way regulation, parking regulation, etc.) • post TIA for new commercial developments • Influence area of congestion due to road construction, pipe laying, etc. • Local • specific problem areas (bottleneck, blackspots, etc. )

  19. Issues Related to ITS Deployment in Developing Countries • Institutional - very high level of cooperation among agencies • Infrastructure - requires well-developed communications and uninterrupted power supply • Technology - should be based on ‘needs assessment’; not just a technology push • Budget - allocation of funds unfamiliar to transport authorities

  20. Immediate Tasks • Creation of an ITS organization • Development of ITS master plan for Metro Manila • Information dissemination to gov’t. agencies; foster cooperation

  21. Conditions for successful ITS in the Philippines • Beneficiaries should not be car users only. (70% trip makers rely on public transport) • ITS revenues should be earmarked for development of mass transit systems • Any ITS deployment should not be dependent on costly or massive infrastructure outlays because of limited budget.
